there are several different kinds, I have a male mountain fiest, and a female mullins fiest, The mullins fiest is a lot like a kerr, which if you never hunted with a kerr, I highly suggest it, We had one when I was a teen, and he loved nothing more than seeing a gun headed for the woods. Dont buy from a puppy farm!! There are too many people that believe and raise fiests around here! They also make incredibly great pets, Extremely smart dogs, Ive had mine for about 11 years, and although Ive never hunted with them, Ive seen them tree several.
